Delayed Update

Everything is going well in Korea. I'm enjoying my time for the most part and am discovering some online free pattern sources because while I tried to sew without a pattern, I do like patterns. I've also found that its only .06 a copy at kinkos and it took me over 30 minutes to find the kinkos, but was easy once I got there. So my project for this week is Burda 7911, a wrap pattern that is free from Burda. I hate thye sleeves and its a bit long, but I think it will go well. I tapes the pages (printed on A4) yesterday and cut it out. Tonight the plan is to decide what modifications I want to make , like cap sleeves and shorter length and taking it in a bit at the sides, and then I will cut from my actual fabric (a green and white flowered cotton). Tomorrow I will sew it up and then on Thursday, I will do the finishing touches so on Friday, I can wear it with my jeans. I will sew the VA Museum pattern after that even though I know I wlready gave it a chance and failed. Everything deserves a second chance, right?
